When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us?

Life-changing gratitude does not fasten to a life unless nailed through with one very specific nail at a time.
